For couples who own a family business or shares of company stock, valuation can be complicated. Our dedicated Calabasas property division attorneys will consult with business valuation experts and CPAs to determine the worth of the business, appropriate compensation for nonworking spouses, and all other details. This is done by a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, comparing to a similar company or by analyzing precedent transactions.

Once the accurate value is established, we can determine how assets should be divided and what you can expect. If the expectations do not meet your goals, we can consider strategies to protect your assets.

How Do You Pick the Right Family Law Attorney? First, you must start scheduling consultations with different attorneys to be sure that your attorney is someone with whom you get along with and whose personality blends with yours. You need to find an attorney who is knowledgeable and one who has years of experience in family law. Price is also a consideration. When it comes to family law, this is not an area where you want to “bargain shop.” To simplify your experience in finding the right attorney, here is the Intake Process so you know what to expect when calling our office.
